The BBC coverage of the Vice Presidential debate

Biased, biased, biased - towards Joe Biden of course. Just one example of the level to which BBC correspondents have stooped, Justin Webb's comments on the live blog of the debate (my emphasis):
"2155 BBC North America editor Justin Webb: Biden did better tonight, no serious person could deny that he avoided some of the big pitfalls (sexism and bloviating) and scored some bit hits. I thought perhaps that she came over as slightly more amiable - talking about her inclusive family with a variety of views - than she has in the past and that might help her. But although she can memorise things, she plainly does not know them. Does that matter? At the end she looks like his daughter, but what is going on with her voice? It cuts glass."
Once again Justin Webb is proud to support Barack Obama and if that means sneering and attacking Sarah Palin and John McCain, then so be it.
